How We Can Help You as a Nervous Patient

Communication

First and foremost, creating an open dialogue with you is key. We will listen to everything you have to say about your nerves, and about any possible past experiences that may have culminated in you feeling nervous today.

In many cases, simply hearing our caring team reassure you can set your mind at ease.

Local Anaesthetic

Local anaesthetic numbs the area being treated, which means only slight pressure will be felt whilst you have your chosen treatment.

Our clinicians are highly skilled injectors who know how to administer the anaesthetic without causing any unpleasant sensation. We will do several checks to make sure we know you are numb, before going ahead to begin your treatment.

IV Sedation

The magic of IV sedation never fails to ‘wow’ patients.

Intravenous ‘IV’ sedation is a conscious mode of sedation that completely removes any feelings of anxiety. Once it takes effect, you will notice some drowsiness, and a sensation of wellbeing, that can be compared to being on gas and air. The sedative is administered intravenously with a very small cannula, and you are monitored by an experienced dentist with specific experience in sedation throughout. IV sedation is completely safe, and as dentists, we’ve seen an extraordinary number of patients leave their nerves behind after just one experience under sedation.
